Clearly I haven’t started smoking, drinking or used drugs so my personal account is of a family member who smokes and drinks which I have been trying to stop (unsuccessfully). She is also trying to stop smoking in different ways, from getting anti-smoking kits to patches to electronic cigarettes but after about a month of not smoking she starts again. Right now she’s trying a new electronic cigarette that you can get in different flavours and it seems to be working so far.
